so pretty but......

the paperwhites have burst open
so pretty but oh so stinky!!
maybe its just me?
they got quite tall and kept falling over
so i cut them and put them in a vase
it seemed to tone down the smell
thankfully :D

Lovely indeed. I don't mind the smell of paperwhites, but I normally put mine in a hallway where their scent disperses throughout the house in a gentle way, rather than when cooped up in one place. And we all react differently to smell, of course.
I have hyacinths starting to open. I just. can't. wait.!

I love that smell and can almost smell them as I look at your photos. Thanks for stopping by my blog Tammy.

Hi Tabby,
Paperwhites are SO pretty, but you are right!! They do not smell nice.
Still, it is a miracle how they bloom around here in the freezing weather.
Thank you for dropping by!!!

too funny, you and I are a lot alike
Love the "look" of paperwhites, but I cannot even be in the same room with them...the smell really gets me!
Happy Winter Tabby!
